Values and Mission

Values and Mission

Our Vision

Healthy people, amazing care. Koorda moort, moorditj kwabadak.

Our vision captures the essence of what we do and what we inspire each other to do every day – show compassion, dedication and professionalism.

As a health service which celebrates diversity of culture and languages, it is also important that our vision could be shared in the Noongar language.

Our Values

What we do makes a difference to the lives of the people in our community, and our values reflect how we are expected to conduct ourselves every day:

  • Kindness
  • Excellence
  • Respect
  • Integrity
  • Collaboration
  • Accountability

Service Delivery Principles

High performing systems and teams

Deliver high quality, outcome-focused care, promote patient safety and encourage continuous service improvement and team development.

 

Supporting diversity and inclusion

Partner with diverse communities, including Aboriginal and other culturally diverse groups to create a safe and welcoming environment where our community and staff feel respected and connected to others.

 

Consumer-centred

Provide consumer driven care that is shaped by listening to what is important to our consumers and their carers and empowers individuals to optimise their health and wellbeing.

 

Intellectual curiosity

Explore and lead the translation of research into evidence-based practice and innovations that will deliver excellent health outcomes.

 

Valuing our staff

Provide a safe environment where our workforce is supported to strive for excellence and where staff expertise, contribution and dedication is recognised.

 

Active partnerships

Maintain healthy people in our communities by building productive partnerships with consideration of the social and cultural determinants of health.

 

Doing the right thing

Encourage and empower our staff to display behaviours in line with the EMHS values, and support consumers in making the right decisions to support better health outcomes.

 

Our vision, values and service delivery principles reinforce our shared commitment to delivering excellence in health care to the community we serve.
